U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Janesville, released an analysis of the cost estimate from the GOP caucus of the House Budget Committee, accusing Democrats of leaking the preliminary estimate in order to gather support for the bill in their caucus.

"This is the latest in a long series of abuses by the Democratic Majority to jam through their health care bill by any means necessary," the GOP analysis states.

"This bill does not reduce deficits. This bill does not control costs. According to the Administration's CMS actuary, the legislation increases national health expenditures by $222 billion," Ryan adds. "This bill adds a new health care entitlement when we have no idea how to pay for the entitlements we already have."
